[QUOTE=Argent Towers]  
I like **Der Trihs,**  **Autolycus** and **VCO3** , and I think this board would be less entertaining without their posts (and the replies that they generate.)  
[/QUOTE]  
Let’s not make this thread personal about any Doper, please. Something like this can be taken as an insult, so it’s best to avoid it altogether.

**Sampiro** is an unfunny hack.

This one, however, _is_ an insult and belongs only in the Pit. Please do not do this again.

-I hate Monty Python, Princess Bride, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and have pretty much decided that I can’t be friends with people who are die hard fans.

-Whenever the topic of IQ or age you learned to read comes up, I think you are all lying. I mean why not, it makes you look better and no one can prove you wrong.

-I judge people who use a lot of smilies in their posts. Especially that green shit eating grin one.

-I don’t understand why people find 80% of the “funny” stuff here funny. (horror of blimps not included…that was really funny)

None of my biz, here, but I think \*\*Dying Butterfly \*\* was trying to come up with some examples of things that _if_ they were thought by anyone, should not be admitted to here.

Since Sampiro’s stories are damn near universally loved here, it would not be wise for one who disagrees to admit it on this board.

I thought that is what the original OP meant, but then the conversation moved to where it looks like people are simply stating their own opinions that they think would be unpopular on this board.

In other words, I don’t think Dying was intending to insult Sampiro. Of course I could be dead wrong.

Sorry, **Skip,** won’t happen again. I was just saying that those posters have caught a lot of flack in the past but I still like them.

I agree with **Nzinga** that the thing about **Sampiro** was meant as a joke. The other two examples were obviously jokes.

Big mistake. :rolleyes:  
Not sure which one defines fecal ingesting, 😛 So I’ll hit 'em all. 😃

Which points out that one should _never_ point out what one doesn’t like to see on the board, 'cause some smart ass SOB will send it to you in spades. :rolleyes: 😛😃

[QUOTE=olivesmarch4th]  
I think the people who take the Pit as lisence to be seething, viscious assholes to other posters are pathetic, and that the entire concept that one utlizes a special place to spew his hatred toward other posters is immature and ill-befitting a board created in the spirit of fighting ignorance.  
[/QUOTE]

Curious. Does this apply to people not on the message board as well or do we only protect other posters?

Yeah, I remembered you and her getting along pretty well, so I couldn’t quite figure it out. I guess I just haven’t been paying attention, then (to the higher volume of people into those things, I mean).

> [@lobstermobster](#):

I forgot to mention Harry Potter. Oh, Og, how I loathe Harry Potter. Granted, I’m a little bitter. But I paid $3.75 to see the last movie (actually, $7.50 to see the Simpsons movie, at the drive-in with some friends, and Harry Potter 5 and some other crapfest were showing for free immediately afterwards–I fell asleep a couple of times during HP5 so I didn’t stick around for the third movie that night), and I’m convinced the actors could’ve all been replaced by tongue depressors and it would’ve been a more captivating movie.

I like that. That will be _my_ contribution to this thread. I agree with **carnivorousplant** that all seething assholes are out of place.

Now. . . just to determine if someone really is seething or if they’re using excess hyperbole or if they’re just trying to make a point vociferously.

I need you to tell me about the Illiad. Please be carefull with your spelling, my teacher is a beyatch about that.

I don’t know why everyone says “3. Hi Opal!”

I believe the Moon Landing was a hoax, and the proof of the hoax was destroyed when the gummint blew up WTC # 7

Anything and everything to do with other people being overweight.

I once masturbated in a graveyard but in my defence I claim drunkeness and her unwillingness to drop her strides.

Another…I burst out laughing at a funeral when a passing bird shat on the widows head.

Not funny you may think, but it was fucking hilarious
